Hey builders & creators

👋I'm Sal – AI Engineer by day, hobbyist photographer by dusk 📷

From cutting edge tech to epic mistakes – I'll share the raw builds, hacks, and lessons learnt here.

Goal: build, ship, repeat - and learn as much as possible through the journey

If you're also a builder, trying to keep up with AI, love taking photos or just want to follow along, let's connect!

Gemini 4 Argon!

[Sal @codebysal]

The comeback is inspiring indeed 🚢🚢🚢

[OpenRouter @OpenRouter]

OpenRouter users spent more on OpenAI models than on Anthropic models last week.

This hasn't happened for more than 2.5 years

[Sal @codebysal]

@MatthewBerman @bot @SpaceXAI I'd wanna try it to plan an enrichment activity schedule for my kid! And possibly manage the family calendar as well!

[Sal @codebysal]

It's actually comical how fast developer sentiment changes. One moment anthropic was the darling and now people are hating on it so hard? 😬

[Pietro Schirano @skirano]

@AbeBurnett I don't even remember when I used an anthropic model last.

Looking forward to the day that high speed WI-FI becomes the norm especially in international flights. Would be a huge productivity boost.

[Sal @codebysal]

i see so many people using agentic coding tools to offload their thinking instead of augmenting their thinking.

the latter is a force multiplier.
the former is a grave mistake.

[Sal @codebysal]

@marclou @_noahsealy bro got Marc to reply on Day 1 - thats a win!

[Sal @codebysal]

Attention is all you need

[Sal @codebysal]

GPT 5.6 Sol made me want to use chatgpt again. The step change in terms of agentic tool use and coding is REAL.

Have also been finding it great for running Hermes agent. I like that the rate limits are transparent and sensible as well (I'm using 5.6 Sol on High on a Plus plan)

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Or… what if we gave you $100 in Codex credits if you tell us what you love about GPT-5.6 Sol or why you switched?

Tweet it, claim your gift, enjoy more usage. First 10k get the free tokens!

All I hear is loop engineering these days, sounds like just a harness for a harness..

[Sal @codebysal]

@vaaselene I use it too

[Dr. Biohacker @Dr_Biohacker]

9. Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day - it’s not even needed
10. Hitting 10k+ steps a day is the most effective fat loss habit.
11. Drink sparkling water or black coffee to suppress your appetite.

[Sal @codebysal]

@chribjel Yea sure nobody's using it

[Sal @codebysal]

@ai_for_success Sonnet 5 for sure

[Sal @codebysal]

@rork Looking forward!

[Sal @codebysal]

Curious to know what they're dropping!

[Sam Altman @sama]

Big drop for Codex users later today!

You can just build things.

[Sal @codebysal]

@ai_for_success Anyone else using Antigravity?

[Logan Kilpatrick @OfficialLoganK]

Gemini now processes over 10 billion tokens per minute via direct API use by our customers and the Gemini App just crossed 750M monthly active users : )

[Sal @codebysal]

This is insane value
